I've been hearing rumopurs of a Futurama movie, as yet unsubstasiated I'm afraid. My question to you is whhat kind of film would you make it, obviously there will be comedy but what else would you put in there. For example would you make it a mighty action movie with tons of explosions (mainly caused by Zapp) and little plot. A stiring space opera with emotional leanings. Or a flat out standard episode extended into a 2 hour motion picture. I know which I would like but which onn would you like?

For a start I wouldn't make it 2 hours long.

The problem is finding a decent plot that could sustain a 2 hour movie. It would be very hard to keep it fresh throughout.
That said, I would go for comedy. That's the main reason we watch the show. And Zapp blowing up things, well that's just his way of comedy.
There is room for developing the relationships between the characters, but comedy should be the main part. Don't ask me about a plot, because I don't have anything to offer. At the moment.
According ot Groening and Cohen, the movie wont be made until the series has ended. So let us hope it'll be a long time before we see a movie.

I would try to make it like one really long episode, to tell the truth. It would have it all, though. Star fights, ground fights, invasion, comedy, wisecracks, romance, hot naked alien sex (Kif and Amy, anyone?), and an ending so brilliant . . .
Sorry, I just kinda drifted off there. What was I saying?

I think that it shold be 75 minutes long and have at least one super expensive CGI scene, maybe near the end but also have a romantic and emotional tie in at the end to balance with the eye candy. I would like to see a 3D part at about 5 minutes and I would like them to go into the inernet at some point.
As for characters, I would like to see every character from every episode at some point even if they don't speak, like the Hypnotoad, Crushinator, Roberto, Steady Eddie etc. I would also like plenty of references to events that had happend in the episodes, which would help bridge the film with the episodes rather than making them feel totally seperate.
As for plot, I would like plenty of planet delivary but also plenty of it set in New New York so that we don't get bored and we don't feel alienated by a planet we have never seen before being the main focus of the film. I would also like to see a climax to Leela and Fry getting together properly.
Well those are some of my thoughts, they included a lot of "I want this, I want that" but if some of that stuff was included then it would be great, especially when combined with other peoples ideas and jokes.

by the way Futurama is not an animated series that can be "converted" to real world, i mean, today is very common see movies in "real world format" from old animated series, like Scooby Doo, Rockye and Bullwinckle, Inspector Gadget, Spiderman, etc (this last surelly works, but the rest no i guess) , Futurama is animated, we all know all characters animated, and animated should remain... (i`m pretty sure that nobody will make a "RWF" South Park movie isn`t?)

When they're gonna make a animated Futurama movie, they should keep it like the cartoon. Anime? Definately not. I agree, they shouldn't make a live action movie, the discussion in the thread was purely hypothetical. Kryten, Christopher Lloyd. I like that, he's pretty good as a half-mad, half-insane scientist.

Hey, I'm not trying to diss anime as such, it's good animation in it's own cartoons, not my favourite though. But for an animated Futurama-movie, I don't think it would be good. We're used to the normal American (Korean?) style of the show, and a new style would just be confusing. The anime I've seen is too, how shall I put it,....lifelike? It's very realistic and pretty true to anatomy, something I don't think would go well with Futurama's more out-there feel. I see big problems with making a good Bender, Zoidberg, Leela, etc. if you have to stay true to anatomy. And thoose big pupils, I find 'em kinda creepy. You may disagree, but this is just IM(NS)HO.

Yeah it should be just like regular futurama....only longer!!!!
And a more detailed story...something like 'A bicyclops built for two' would make a good film. You need some romanc, some badies, storyline etc..all the usual ingredients of a film.
